Chardonnay Contessa Entellina DOC - La Fuga - Donnafugata 2022

The Chardonnay Contessa Entellina DOC - La Fuga by Donnafugata represents an oenological excellence coming from the sunny lands of Sicily. This white wine stands out for its elegance and aromatic finesse, the result of careful winemaking and a meticulous selection of grapes.

Cultivated in the vineyards of Contessa Entellina, in the heart of Sicily, the Chardonnay grapes benefit from the Mediterranean climate, characterized by intense solar exposure and significant temperature variations between day and night, which contribute to the development of the aromatic intensity and freshness of the fruit.

Visually, "La Fuga" presents itself with a bright straw-yellow color, often enriched by greenish reflections that testify to its youthfulness and vibrancy. The nose is immediately captivating, offering an aromatic range that spans from tropical fruits, such as mango and papaya, to notes of white pulp fruit, including peach and melon, up to nuances of white flowers and light strokes of vanilla and butter given by a brief passage in barrique.

On the palate, "La Fuga" confirms its complexity. The attack is fresh, almost crisp, with a nice acidity that balances everything and leads to a medium-full palate, where the fruit returns dominant and elegantly blends with mineral touches and a finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of cleanliness and persistence.

This Chardonnay pairs perfectly with elaborate fish dishes, shellfish, and can be an excellent companion to fresh cheeses or vegetarian dishes based on grilled vegetables. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 10-12°C to enhance all its organoleptic qualities.

With its balanced profile and refinement, the Chardonnay Contessa Entellina DOC - La Fuga by Donnafugata is a classy choice for any special occasion or simply to enjoy a moment of quality with a good glass of wine.
